eBay Is Preventing Users From Selling Nipsey Hussle’s Memorial Booklets On Their Site

Since
the passing of #NipseyHussle, so many people have come together in ways we have
not ever witnessed before. As we continue to mourn his passing, his legacy will
continue to impact the lives of so many people!

Last
Thursday, Nipsey’s home going ceremony packed Los Angeles’ Staples Center and
those who were in attendance received booklets of the memorial service that
commemorated Nipsey’s life. Unfortunately, some of those booklets later
appeared on #eBay where they were being sold for hundreds of dollars.

Thankfully,
eBay is shutting it down #Roommates! According to @TMZ_TV, an eBay spokesperson
confirmed they will be cracking down on anyone trying to profit off of Nipsey’s
tragic death. The spokesperson said: “These booklets are prohibited under
eBay’s policies. Any items that attempt to profit from human tragedy or
suffering are not allowed to be sold on eBay.”

Taking
things a step further, eBay has also mention not only will they be removing the
memorial programs but they will also be educating sellers who have listed them
as well about why their item is prohibited.

Similarly,
to the memorial booklets turning up online, free tickets to Nipsey’s ceremony were
also being sold almost immediately after they became available for California
residents through Ticket Master.

It’s
awesome to see eBay cracking down on the issue, especially during a time like
this. Clearly Nipsey’s passing has brought a great deal of unity and self-reflection
for many people. His legacy will live on as so many people continue to immortalize
him with tattoos, clothing, basketball courts, music and more.
